Farmington Hills man pleads guilty to bank robberies in Ohio, Indiana

A Farmington Hills man pleaded guilty Friday in a Toledo federal court to four bank robberies in Ohio and one in Indiana.

Jason Radigan, 39, had been charged with four counts of bank robbery tied to hold-ups between January and April. He pleaded guilty in front of Toledo federal Judge Jeffrey Helmick and waived an upcoming hearing in Indiana, according to FBI affidavits and court filings.

He faces a maximum prison sentence of 80 years upon his sentencing in November.

Radigan had been charged with robbing Charter One Bank and Huntington National Bank in Toledo, State Bank & Trust Co. in Perrysburg, Ohio, and Wells Fargo Bank in Angola, Ind.

FBI Task Force Officer Daniel J. VanVorhis wrote that in one instance, Radigan walked into a bank and gave the teller a note that read, “This is a robbery.”

Further, Radigan had allegedly been calling his brother in Michigan, telling him about the robberies. His brother later coordinated with Livonia police in the investigation, VanVorhis said.

Federal filings indicated Radigan walked away with around $12,000 from the four robberies.
